2007 Versa S Doors Lock Automatically!

[vpnavy]

Every once in a while I'll go out to my car and the doors will be locked. We park the car in our carport and never lock the doors. Every once in a while we'll go out to the car and all four doors are locked! Any suggestions?

Does the Versa have an option for proximity-based locks (if the fob gets far enough away the car locks itself)?

Not as far as I know. My Sedan doesn't have many options ( ). The only options it came with was the Power Package, Splash Guards and Aluminum Kick Plates.

Maybe your car knows something that you don't about your neighbors.

Hey, don't you think for a minute that didn't cross my mind!

There are several features about the keyless system that can be programmed in. The information is stored in the BCM. It's possible that when the dealer delivered it to you, they programmed a timed delay of some sort. I know my V locks its doors if I don't open one within a minute of unlocking them.

Could be - I'm trying to find something that is consistent when it locks. It has only done it 4 times in two months. One thing I do miss - my other cars would automatically lock after a few minutes of driving. Both my Frontier and Versa don't but my Chrysler and Ford do. That was a nice feature for security reasons.

Then I hate to suggest the obvious. Any possibility you accidentally leaned on the key fob and hit the lock button? I did that the other day with my panic button...

I really don't think so - but anything is possible. I started a new procedure (based on your suggestion). I walk in the house, drop my keys in my key tray, walk back outside and check the doors. We'll see.

Thanks!

LOL...that reminds me of something that happened when my son was a baby. We were sitting in a restaurant with my parents when I noticed that my mother had given my son her keys to play with (remote and all). I got currious, so I walked outside. Sure enough....the trunk to their Buick was wide open.

i experienced this today!

i was standing behind my V talking to a friend and i heard something similar to me unlocking a door or something and then when i went over it was locked and i know i didnt lock it.

weird, i dont mind but still weird.

You are kidding - right?

[br4dysays]

i dont believe so, why?

Because the confirms my problem.

My doors routinely lock themselves if the car is unlocked but a door is not opened... I assume this is to keep accidental bumps to the unlock button from leaving the V vulnerable...

I religiously press my lock button when I get out and have not noticed this problem when I'm leaving my car. (though I wouldn't consider it a problem...)

Thanks for the info. I agree - it really isn't a problem. Actually, it is a great feature. In my case - I just never know when they will lock.

time to do scientific tests... ;oD

[blacksmaru]

I was washing the V today and i had the hatch open when i was drying it, and all the other doors locked, lol... but yea i figured it locks and arms itself automatically after a certain amount of time, good thing cuz i tend to forget if i locked up or not...

[vpnavy]

I did learn something this morning. My Versa was locked so I hit the unlock (twice for all doors). I didn't open any of the doors - within five minutes all the doors locked automatically. I did it twice - both times it relocked itself. Interesting...

Just found this in the Owner's Manual...

AUTO RELOCK (unlock Icon) When the button on the keyfob is pushed, all doors will lock automatically within 1 minute unless one of the following operations is performed:

. Any door is opened.. A key is inserted into the ignition switch and the key is turned from OFF to ON.

Yup. I've run into that a couple times. I'll unlock my car with a load of parts to be put in, and someone stops me in the parking lot to chat... I turn around and the car has locked itself.

This might confirm my theory. You might have accidentally pushed the unlock button while leaning over or sitting, and the car accepted the command and locked a minute later.

I confirmed again that this is not just possible, but probable, when last night I went to sit on my futon, and I heard V-Squared beep from inside the garage. Apparently I had hit the Lock button when I sat down.
